45 Best Thai Restaurants near Des Moines

“Lived in area for going on 4 years. First time eating there, ordered takeout. Prompt, exact, generous portions, delicious. 👍🏾“

“Why does May's Thai food taste so much better than Thai food in the Seattle Metro area? Is it the country air? Is it because you have to take a ferry to enjoy it? I don't know the answer, but it is delicious! Make May's Kitchen your destination restaurant experience this summer.“

“Aroy Makkkkk !!!

Delightful Delicious affordable Thai food I have ever tried in WA. Very casual home cook style and variety you can choose on the menu! Very recommended “Pork Jerky” from appetizers. It’s good with either rice or sticky rice OR even by itself ?

Tom Sabb also very good soup with herbs and fragrant. Me and my friends got Seafood Tom Sabb which we got shrimp, squid, mussels.

Spicy chicken Salad also highly recommended! Every spices and herbs blend well together and som little crunchy from roasted rice will hit your mouth.

All I can say is this place will make your mouth drool ? such a gem and comfort Thai food restaurant in Kent that worth to visit. Absolutely not gonna be disappointed ?? Originally Thai taste in town. Confirmed by a Thai person!!!“

“The best Panang Curry I've had in a long time!“

“Everyone loves their karaage chicken...huge servings! They also have the best Tom Kha...the flavor is spot on! Pad See Ew, drunken noodles, etc are all wonderful. Portions are large & prices are reasonable. But, biggest reason I keep returning is their terrific staff...just the nicest people!“

“Been to this place twice and both times food was top notch! Last time I went in and it was a relatively hot day this place was so hot I was sweating uncomfortably eating my food … please get some fans in or something for the summer. Second time the service was a bit off putting as well.“

“My daughter and I love their good food an great service!“

“I have had several meals here and they were all delicious and fresh. The place is clean and never too busy to stop by for a bite. There are always a steady flow of to-go orders when we are there; the wait time is minimal and prices reasonable. Mahalo!“

“Very Tasty � i loved it and the employees made me feel very important �“

“An honest review: My grandma discovered this spot almost 30 years ago, and since then my parents and grandma have eaten here often, always saying it was amazing. Today I ordered food for takeaway for the third time, and honestly, it was just incredible. The Pad Thai is absolutely delicious, the Yellow Curry was amazing, same with the spring rolls and the Red Curry. The atmosphere is a bit dated, but the super tasty food and the incredibly sweet and friendly owners more than make up for it.
In short: The food is fantastic, the owners are super kind and sweet, the atmosphere is so-so — but if you want authentic, insanely good Thai food, this place is definitely a go-to.“

“The service and new menu is very nice , great atmosphere . :)“

“Great food and the best service .“

“A friend recommended this place. The food was yummy, especially the crispy garlic chicken.“

“A popular and busy restaurant/tiki bar. My last supper before flying back. My hosts were kind and attentive to spend our last moments in delicious quality time. But I wasn't hungry! So I had the fried bananas with mango ice cream. What a treat for three! A massive crunchy sweet soft battered bananas and mounds of ice cream. My hosts enjoyed as well. Love this place!“

“Absolutely love everything we ordered. (Crispy Garlic Chicken, Pad Thai, Panang Curry). 10/10. Would definitely go back.“

“First time here, just visiting. The food was great! I love their Simply Wings, and Pad Kee Maw noodles with shrimp. My husband loves his Holy Thai Basil and spring rolls. The portion is right and satisfies your hunger after an all -day activities in Seattle. It was late in the evening, they were so busy. They didn't have time to check their bathrooms ( at least the women's). Some women looked like they had toilet paper fight in there. Toilet paper every where.
We will definitely come back next time we visit the mall.“

“Tastes very vey good. I tried green cury, kee mao and crab rangoon and they were very good.“

“They now have new containers and way less food in them and the price is really high. I paid 17.00 for a small container that was mostly rice. i dont think i will be coming here anymore as of June 6th 2024 Maple Valley resturaunt“

“Pad Sew Ew is delicious! Especially with shrimp or beef. Wide noodles are delicious and huge portions! Waitress is very nice, pretty, and prompt. My fav thai spot.“

“I was so thrilled to find a Thai restaurant right down the street that makes the best Tom Ka soup 🤌🏼 truly delicious. I have tried a few of their dishes which I can vouch for. The chef special fried rice and Phad Thai Crab dishes are amazing and very reasonably priced. I will continue to visit to try their many dish options on their menu 😁“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Great food! Very authentic! Owners were very personable and nice to talk to. Highly recommend!“

“Great product, great service, great prices and it’s great to see a long time Rainer Valley business still open. I’m sure to check out the new updated location on Ray Near“

“I wasnt feeling well a d had an urge for something spicy. I ordered phad thai at the spiciest and have to say that it was DELICIOUS! I usually have to add spice, but it was the perfect amount (for me, my husband not so much lol) and the flavor was AMAZING! I am definitely going to eat from here again soon!“

“The food is well made and ingredients arr fresh. They are able to accomidate special good needs with care. I had the Pad Thai and the Pad Kee Mao both were delicious. The staff is very friendly and efficient. This has been my favorite Thai restaurant in Burien for years. They have really grown over the years I have been visiting here. They are currently take out only.“

“I'm at the hotel across the street. I was originally going to walk over to the mall area and the Olive Garden, but I saw the sign for teriyaki and thought it would be good to support a small business.

I walked in through the mini mart. The man behind the counter asked if I was looking for teriyaki after I looked a little lost. He pointed me to the other side of the shop and met me over there.

I wish I'd thought to ask his name. He was very nice and personable. I told him I'd be in town for a couple days and was looking for a good spot. I asked what's good on the menu. He pointed out a few things, but I settled on the spicy orange chicken.

When I checked out, I thought it might be a tad pricey, but I also recognize the importance of helping a small business. While I waited for my order, I went back to the mini mart side and got a ginger ale and some gum. The same gentleman rang me up there.

Then, back next door, I looked at my phone for a minute or two, and he came back to thank me for my patience. While thoughtful, I was not put out at all, I had only placed the order a few minutes before, and it really didn't seem like much of a wait.

My food came out in short order, he bagged it up and put all the things I'd need (utensils, napkins, soy sauce) inside before I asked. He left me with a smile, and I walked across the street to my hotel to eat.

Bringing it up to my room, I saw that it was a lot of food. Honestly, I SHOULD have only eaten half and saved the rest for the next day. But I didn't.

The orange chicken was perfect. Just delicious. The rice was just right. Honestly, I can't think of a thing that would make it better.

Highly recommend for both the food and the service.“

“I had lunch Combo D (orange beef and Thai noodle, with veggies and rice) and a Thai iced tea with coconut milk, and black sticky rice with coconut ice cream. Everything was delicious and the service was top-notch. I’m puzzled why the restaurant’s rating isn’t higher.“

“Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“We lived in Laos for 7 years and love Lao food. This is by far the most authentic tasting Lao food that we have found. We especially like their nem khao, Lao style sausages, and their jeow mak lin is the only real-tasting Lao tomato salsa that I have ever found outside of Laos or my wife's kitchen. They have done amazing job with their flavors and indoor casual atmosphere (feels very modern Vientiane chic). They seem to have a hard time keeping their khao piak noodles on hand so if you really your khao piak fix, be sure to call ahead. I have now been to Sweet Rice 5 times and they have never had the khao piak noodles. If you want really good Lao food and can't get over there, you can get your fix at Sweet Rice!“

“Service was wonderful and the food was delicious“

“Don’t think twice about dining at Young’s! Food incredible and comforting. The service is wonderful and quick. Ample street parking. Enjoy some classic breakfast favorites and come in to meet your new favorite fried rice - there are no wrong answers on this menu! Check out this White Center staple.“

“My daughter and I went here and got the pad Thai and spring rolls. My daughter also got the Thai iced tea and loved it! Everything was so good! This is such a great hole on the wall, we’ll be back for sure!“

“The food was sooooo good and I loved the coconut juice. I will be back!!!“

“So delicious & amazing staff! Will visit every time I visit Seattle and am hoping a Chicago location opens one day! 🙏🏽✨“

“I had lunch with my daughter. So yum 😋 thanks“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“My favorite Lao/Thai restaurant. They’re so generous with the side of fresh vegetables and portions too. Food is packed with flavor and the spice I’ve been craving. The people there are so friendly and I was also a fan of their restaurant Blazing Bowl in Redmond so it’s no surprise that their food is delicious. Good place to go if you actually want spicy food or just authentic Lao cuisine in general. Their papaya salad, phad see ew, Nam khao are good if you’re not sure what to get. I’ll be back to try their noodle soups. The restaurant is very cozy and they’re very fast with pick up as well. Be sure to check them out!“

“I had the beef teriyaki and my husband had kaee Mao dinner soo delicious! Very kind people who are invested in your experience and making sure you enjoy the food they put their heart into. If you enjoy this type of food at all, this is a must to try!“

“Ordered a pork Banh mi it was good, wished it had few more strands of cilantro but otherwise it was pretty good. Ordered Thai iced tea and a taro bubble tea, both great! I wasn’t a fan on their broth, I usually get flank meat but they only have steak. Will be back for more Banh Mi and drinks!“

“Good and tasty food! Love the lychee Martinis!“
